Georgia’s sitting Republican Senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are preparing for a runoff election next month, and their opposition to the Atlanta Braves’ name change is popular with both Democrats and Republicans. According to recent polls, Georgia voters — both Democrats and Republicans — oppose the Atlanta Braves dumping their Native American name. The team was established way back in 1871. And even as they have moved from Boston to Milwaukee to Atlanta, they were always the Braves. Though, activists are again trying to force the team to change its “offensive” name. Thus far, it appears

What is offensive is the commie's racist campaign to remove any positive symbol of Native Americans and blacks from our wider culture. Instead of Russian gulags, our homegrown dictators prefer "progressive" terms like plantation and reservation. In their convoluted thinking its racist for one group to exclude and segregate another group. However, its "progressive" if you can manipulate the offensive group to self-isolate, segregate and exclude themselves from other groups. Obviously, there is bad segregation and good segregation depending on whether or not you're a "racist" white or a "progressive" white. Is it any wonder they are all insane?

So does that mean that they'll vote for them for senators, too?
I sent a good sized donation to each of them today.

The dummies in Cleveland are going to ruin the Indians baseball club by changing their name to something inane so they'll never get to the playoffs again.

Mitch already congratulated Joe and Camalatoe so he’s ready to be minority leader now having conceded for Trump. Time to ditch Mitch isnt it?!

"Braves" has the same meaning as "Knights" in Europe. Nothing offensive about it. Unless you are an activist then you can find something offensive every day that you wake up. Does anybody ask Native Americans about this stuff? They didn't mind being called "Indians" for hundreds of years. What they did mind was the theft of their hunting grounds.

Typical shallow reasoning for the low information voter. These two senate elections will be monitored with a find tooth comb. Concerning however, that there are 1,200,000 absentee ballot requests when the presidential election had only 900,000? Dems always bring a knife to a fist fight.

Where does #8 get the cheater name? They're idiots, to be sure, but I've not known of them cheating, unlike the Cheating Astros and Cheating Red Sox.
The front office will prolly cave...they're all a bunch of disconnected-from-baseball suits now anyway. Year before last, just prior to that hideously awful embarrassment of an epic fail playoff game against the Cardinals , the front office refused to allow the chop music to be played because one relief pitcher somewhere objected to it. This year, of course, nada. I'm guessing it won't be back.

When I was a kid I always thought the Braves - originally a Boston team - were named as a tongue in cheek reference to the Patriots who disguised themselves as Indians when tossing tea into Boston harbor. Nope it turns out that isn't right, but it is close. The Boston Braves owner was a member of a notorious Northeastern political organization in Tammany Hall, that called themselves the Braves. Since he was a political animal, and baseball club owner, it would not be a surprise that his outfit modeled itself on sneaky political tricksters - and up to that point the Boston Tea Party was the biggest, funniest and epic trick of all time.

First, re: - my questioning of #8's cheater label, I'm guessing she meant vis a vis election shenanigans, not baseball, and so the cheater nickname would not be incorrect. My bad...my mind was geared towards baseball.
Why is this even a question? Only yankee transplants would want the name change...this topic is like hunting...Democrats and Republicans alike are of one mind.

Voters rarely get to weigh in on these cultural changes being foisted upon us. This is a good issue to put a spotlight on the radical agenda of all Leftists - including Ossoff and Warnock.

Everyone should just keep calling them the Braves. My daughter is a rabid Redskins fan and refuses to use the idiotic new name.

Why is any politician fool enough to get involved, even slightly, in this nonsense? Stupid...the baseball team is a private enterprise, owned by private interests. Let them deal with their "customer relations" issue. OTOH, maybe the election outcome in GA really doesn't matter except as window treatment. Two more dolts to keep The Turtle on his feet, getting Americans "the best we could do".

It doesn't matter who agrees with these two senators. A good sign? A good sign of what? That voters will come out in droves and vote for Loeffler and Perdue? So friggin' what? That vile creature Abrams and the media mob, deep state and traitorous Democrats will just add more votes as they did in the presidential election, and the two Democrat communists will win.
Ladies and gentlemen, I know y'all know this, but this nonsense talking about get out the vote, sending money to our candidates so they can mount effective campaigns, TV and radio advertising, yada, yada, yada, all is for naught UNLESS the steal of the presidential election is reversed. If these guys can get away with stealing a presidential election, A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, then no other election will be legal. With the Supremes being a combination of traitors and cowards, I see absolutely no way we win an election again. What a depressing Christmas this is.

I agree with #25. I don't intend to vote again or send another dime to the RNC unless this election fraud is reversed. The only things that will get them off their fat butts is loss of votes and money. Otherwise they are proving that it doesn't matter who wins. If we are going to be abused by democrats forever anyway, why pay attention to elections?

big deal, the question is: will these people also vote for both Perdue and Loeffler? that's more important than a poll that says they agree with them about a baseball team's name.

We name it Preconceived Capitulation. They name it Social Justice. Traditional Lakota's want to hand down the past, good and bad for our coming Generations. Liberal thinking Indians are no different than any other brain dead Liberals out there. They will use their Culture when Politically Convenient! Go Braves!

Stupid. "Braves" is not in the least derogatory. Just the opposite. It actually honors the native Americans. Almost every stream and river in the state has a Creek or Cherokee name...Chattahoochee, Etowah, Coosa, Coosawatee, Conasauga. You want your team's name to sound formidable...Bulldogs, Tigers, Lions not some generic panty-waist name. If they change the name from Braves to anything else I will never watch another game or buy a piece of their merchandise and just wrote them to that effect. https://www.mlb.com/braves/official-information/contact

Does this really matter at this point? As long as our POTUS has still not technically won the election, what good are these tiny moral victories? Who cares about this stuff?
Every single judiciary system in the country has let us down. Let’s focus on that instead of sports teams being renamed
